Establishing Priorities

Last Sunday, the idea came to me to live my life according to my priorities, instead of living life according to what is urgent or fun. I'm such a procrastinator, that often I miss out on the most important things because I'm frantically focusing on the urgent things or so exhausted from my last minute rush that I am recuperating by doing "fun" things. I came across a great talk by Elder Ballard (an Apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) entitled "Keeping Life's Demands in Balance" (April 1987 Conference Talk). He gives eight great suggestions for achieving balance in life. As I was searching for information on priorities, I came across a talk by Elder Oaks (also an Apostle) entitled "Focus and Priorities" (April 2001 Conference Talk). I like the emphasis this talk places on "focus" and I'm looking forward to reading what Elder Oaks has to say about "priorities." Here's to a more efficient and effective life in 2009!

Disney Land - Here I Come!!

Recently I found out about a cool contest KOSY 106.5 is having for the month of January. You can enter as many times a day as you want and they pick a new winner every week day and call them at 7 am to tell them they won a trip to Disney Land! A three day hopper ticket for 4 people and two night's stay at a hotel. (You have to get down there yourself, but it's not too far...) I LOVE Disney Land and the idea of getting a trip for free (AND getting to stay right there at the park) is very tempting.

So how do you win? Simple! All you have to do is click on all the rides on the Disney Land map (of Magic Kingdom and California Adventure) until you find Fisher and Peggy (the DJ's of KOSY's morning show). A little hint for all those interested....Fisher and Peggy are at the Ghost House (in New Orleans Square). Feel free to go log in and start trying to win. All I ask is...YOU MUST TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!!!!
